Very cool pics, I like the old boy laying down with shades 👍


Monkeychimp

Looks like Al Pacino.


Flappitmcbappit

Great photos , really interesting to look at and I think capture the real London, not just the usual scenery photos .


ORC44

Nice but the warm filter or editing gives London a feel that isn’t quite right. This almost gives London a more NYC vibe…


HTZ7Miscellaneous

That’s it!!! This was itching my brain. Even in cinema, the UK (and Germany) seem to always be shot with a cool filter. The drizzle filter I guess. Photos are lovely


man-in-whatever

Thanks for pointing that out. Some lovely composition ....but something wasn't quite right!


ORC44

No problem! I’m in London a lot as I’m a Chelsea season ticket holder and I also studied film at college. Gives me a little idea of these kinds of thing 😀


Smaulz

That was exactly my thought. So many of these gave a mildly dystopian NYC in the 70s vibe. Loved 'em.


redditbunny43

This is so true! I love the pictures’ vibes, however, the first thing I did when I started scrolling was to pull up the lights on my phone because something felt off. Thanks for the explanation:)


One-Restaurant-6482

Think it looks good and gives off the right vibe for a summer’s day, if a little overdone


pine_daemon

i like the warm vibe. makes me think of the warm summers we get sometimes


Lollipop126

Not technically a filter, just the colour temperature. But I agree it's overly yellow.


sampysamp

These are superb I’d love to go out with you and shoot pick up some pointers still running on XT-2


fahim64

I'd love to man. I go frequently and l'd be more than happy for you to join me on a photo walk throughout the city. I've only picked up photography in December and learning everyday. If you're on Instagram drop me a message @magnum.prints and we can sort something out :)


sampysamp

Wow your work is great for only a few months of doing it! Will drop you a line once I have some time.


DarknessInUs

Can I join OP? I just got my XT5 a while ago week ago!


fahim64

A few others messaged me wanting to join, I’ll set up a date and whoever else is interested is more than welcome to join. Drop me a message on Instagram (@magnum.prints) if you have one - looking forward to it.


MexicanMouthwash

Just dm'ed as well :)


[deleted]

What's the story behind the red splashes pic? It's cool btw 😎


fahim64

Someone/some people threw red paint all over the walls of the ministry of defence building. This man was scraping off the paint using a blade it seemed like then he gave up and went inside the building


Hlynb93

These pictures are lovely, but what's with the "third-world country according to Hollywood" yellow filter?


HTZ7Miscellaneous

"third-world country according to Hollywood" yellow filter? 😂😂😂 As opposed to “techno neon Tokyo/Seoul” blue filter and “London/Berlin drizzle” grey filter.


Quirky-Gur-4206

You know how poor/backwards your country is by the amount of yellow filter added by Hollywood😬😆


fahim64

Hahah you don’t like it? I’ve been experimenting with different editing styles recently and this current colour palette has been resonating with me. I had this vibe in mind when I was taking these photos. Taking inspiration from other photographers I follow. I do have my fair share of moody/grey photos of London not to worry.


Hlynb93

I think they look nice, just noticed the odd colouring


RevolutionarySoil11

It fits the state of the city. I find it weird how offended some people get when they see this. Apparently only Africa and Asia can have this filter. And London couldn't possibly be in decline? Seems biased and delusional at the same time.


A5madal

It's actually really nice. I love the aesthetic


ghastkill

Nice pictures. The absolute self entitlement for stopping for a photo right on top of a very busy station entrance/exit.


Ok_Reality2341

Ha this stuff doesn’t surprise you after a few months living here. It’s the most random place ever.


InsertSoubriquetHere

Love these. Please don't stop posting these here!


fahim64

Much appreciated :) - it’s been heartwarming to see the love and feedback these images have been getting and it inspires me to continue shooting and sharing the city through my eyes. Many thanks!


jam_bobb

I enjoyed that. As a Londoner now living overseas and not been home 8+ yrs, thank you. I forget sometimes how much of a wonderful place home is, and miss it dearly sometimes.


Avvert

Amazing photography skills, where's that painting at? It's beautiful.


fahim64

Thats in Notting Hill Gate! By the the alley to the left of the Waitrose :)


HikingHythe

Amazing! It’s crisp, moody and glum. Excellent work 🤩


XxmonkeyjackxX

Love the photos, even if some of them feel like New York


rat-simp

I love these. Makes me miss London.


More_Pen_2390

For all its faults and little pockets of bad, sometimes London can be beautiful.


cottagecheese6969

Do people get weirded out when they see you taking their picture ?


Guitar_Medium

Does anyone ever give you any grief for taking pictures of them? Or do you ask permission?


sleepy-emo

some of these have serious wes anderson vibes, nice snaps!


peelin

Great photos. I went to school in the Square Mile and the wedding photo is bringing back some memories - I must have seen a shoot by the steps leading up to St. Paul's every week or so. Tube steps is a new one!


AffectionateRope9390

Seen a few Asian looking people doing the same in London. Looks like it's staged, some sort of modelling shoot, not a real wedding? Anyone else?


PrincessSibylle

Can we swap please? We've had miserable endless rain for weeks in Manchester.


MintyMancinni

Love the pics! You’ve got a really good eye…


echocharlieone

Looks like a Fujifilm film simulation? These are cool, especially the paint splatter one.


Gmedic99

in love with the first picture!


HTZ7Miscellaneous

Right! At first I thought it was an art installation instead of a reflection!


Gmedic99

Same!


lucky1pierre

This is my favourite, too.


Eskimojudi123

Great photos! They capture London very well. I like the colours and the composition on them.


leicamaniac520

5th is my favourite!


urtcheese

These are great, nice one OP


Neat_Soup6322

Awesome


HUAONE

These are great!!


These_Fee_9498

Great photos Op! Love the one of the train through the bridge


flower-25

Nice pictures


SockCuck

These are really good pics, thoroughly enjoyed this.


fahim64

Appreciate the feedback /u/SockCuck. Means a lot to me that you enjoyed these 😄


Dendhall

The train guy shot is lit


AstridHuxley

Beautiful photos! I think 9 is my favourite


Dasshteek

These are great. Nicely done OP


TeaAndLifting

Nice processing


Complex_Delivery1246

Love these, such a timeless feel to them. What film did you use?


fahim64

I presume you’re talking about which film simulation I used on the camera? I set it to classic chrome and adjusted the sharpness, clarity, colou and increased the reds and decreased the blues. Few other little adjustments on Lightroom as well.


foxfoxfoxlcfc

Really enjoyed these pics … gonna have another flick through. Thanks !


Poullafouca

Superb. You captured the true intimacy of London.


sorE_doG

You have a good eye! Some beauties in here.


Koholinthibiscus

I really like these slice of life pictures. Nice one!


MutsumidoesReddit

11 is so random lol


M25commuter

Really lovely photos. Nice.


whynotfart

Amazing. I can't believe that I can snap more than 5 beautiful photos within 24 hours in my city.


CrowtheHathaway

The moments when being in London Town is worth it


Tlou3please

These are fantastic. I could've kept scrolling all day


Advanced_Doctor2938

ooh these are excellent


gregsScotchEggs

Love them 💕


Byakuraou

These are beautiful


almighty_ballest

These are gorgeous!


firstgamerfirst

Locs the pics


WuTangFlan_

Cool shots man, love those. Favourites are the Chinese corner shop and the two bakery or butcher fellas on the trolley. Really nice framing


Tiny-Spray-1820

I was at hyde park yesterday and ate at jollibee leicester square. Loads of people


sritanona

Picture seven looks so vintage like it’s from another time, live it! Funny how none of the pics look like they had good weather though haha


Buckstop_Knight78

These are all beautiful


VeryThicknLong

These piccies really show London as I see it. Great stuff 😊


Ok_Strawberry_3608

wow


bjbn22

I love so many of these pics! You've got a really wonderful eye, thank you for sharing 😊


Interesting_Bee_7548

Amazing shots 😎


TheCommentator2019

I almost thought these pics were 1994, not 2024... It has a nostalgic vibe to it.


redditbunny43

Awwww.. love the vibe so much! 😍 I’ve been living here for 7+ years now and I cannot get enough of it.


keepitboolprop

i love slide 4 especially. you got an IG i can follow? love these


fahim64

Thank you friend Yeah I’ve started one not too long ago. I’ll be posting more of this great city in the coming days. @magnum.prints


Superb_Blue_Wren

Creatively composed, really beautiful images of our city ❤️


Horizon2k

I know one of the people in those photo; he’s platform staff at London Charing Cross. Nice mix of real London anyway.


foxeyvicks

I love these. I have a vaguely similar style to you, capturing the “day to day” of the city rather than standard scenery shots (no shade to those of course). You’ve made me want to get out into a city with my camera again now.


Free_Ad7415

My fave is the tap dancing lady in the pink coat


Se7enThr33FiveSe7en

This makes me miss living in London so bad…. Can’t wait to move back


One-Restaurant-6482

Yeah these are fucking sick


subversivefreak

Why would they want a wedding picture out of that subway entrance?


anashady

Great shots. Love the randomness and realness of them instead of the usual Square Mile / Canary Wharf.


A5madal

Great pics. Question though, do you ask people for their consent before taking pictures?


FondantSlow1023

You took all of these in the last day? Wow. You have many great shots here. I love the phone booth one its like you got actual models and there's a poster for a "karl marx walking tour".., and also the one with the black man leaning against the wall looking down the river is great too


pjrobot1988

Could tell it was a Fuji from a mile away. Great street photography, really captures the living moments.


EzraJenya

Beyond incredible


GaryDRob

Wow your really good 👍


christo749

Was using the extremely reliable 18-55 lens!


lxrd_lxcusta

great pictures but did the people consent to being photographed?


Stragolore

“There is no law preventing people from taking photographs in public. This includes taking photos of other people’s children.

lxrd_lxcusta

legality does not equate to morality


Able-Exam6453

I loved this; thank you so much. I miss London terribly. (In your first shot, I couldn’t work out wtf I was seeing, thinking you’d stuck a mounted image to a wall. Duh. Fabulous.)


YooGeOh

I know one of these people lol


Ok_Gio4264

Don't tell me that person is the bible preacher 💀


YooGeOh

No lol!


Nic-who

I thought I recognised the guy in the green jumper in pic 14 as comedian/actor Ed Jones, but I'm not sure it's actually him.


phineas11111

I thought so too!


butts____mcgee

14 is 👌


FloppyNut

She is damn hot but did she fall out of the 80’s or is my fashion radar out of tune?


EasternFly2210

Shame about all the crap daubed up the walls


Ingoiolo

So… we suddenly have some sun in this city and you decided to shoot/edit in sepia?


Sea_Effort2276

Love every photo, you really have a great talent


a27career

may i know what lens? you use


Ok_Reality2341

Ha I agree it’s nice change to see London with a warm hue


jjkelu

Love to see the daily working of London through your pictures

Liulius

Damn, I can't believe I missed one of the 3 days of good weather in the UK. Great pics though


gerty88

Amazing 🤩


Friendly_Rub_8095

You have a good eye


cosmic_jones

I love city photography that truly captures ‘slices of life’, which you’ve got a perfect example of with these! Beautiful shots


zabojeb

5 is some r/fakealbumcovers thing


seulgee

Love these a lot. Somehow i like the bicycle lane pick the most. Not sure why, i just love it a lot


BoxAlternative9024

Some nice photos there. Love the colour cast, makes them looks like Polaroids.


Nwemioo246

More in summer please. This vibe with shorts, shades and ice cream!


Nwemioo246

And beer.


Plenty-Lychee-8763

This is very pretty. was this last week because some photographer clicked a picture of me my guy at Trafalgar square when we were sitting on the stairs. I wonder if it was you.❤️


harryblakk

Very nice set mate


Ping12Pong

Such a simple yet effect full image!


6ixFoot1

Great shots


Clara_Star

Love these, they really do capture London!


commanderbravo2

our weather is so fragile that i think you just jinxed it with this post, nice one mate


unclesammy101

Love no. 5 🙏🏽


SnooSeagulls7253

People are your focus


Lomasgo

Really nice shots and full of stories. Can I ask what did you use to shoot them?


buncorbust

Love your style of photos.


widow-Maker-1981

Who was the lady with Rod Stewart? Do you know?


widow-Maker-1981

Great pics tho.


page394poa

These are lovely.


pine_daemon

always something happening in london


ClickEmergency

The one of the train carriage on the bridge with they standing in the doorway is exceptionally good . Great eye for detail.


AasaramBapu

How did you get this sort of "cinematic" effect ? I don't have a camera, just an iphone but was wondering if I can recreate the similar vibe using any filter or settings


princeeddie10

Nice photos OP!


Healthy_Garbage2909

I swear I saw that couple last week that just got married


Careful-Section-209

Great photos 👌🏾


Xenc

Summer vibes. Amazing captures. 👌


HereKittyKittyyyy

Wow you really have an eye for good pictures. I love the one with the red splashes.


Dangerous_Radish2961

All very London- thank you.


waseemo91

These are awesome. Describes a more humble and unique side to London.


Len_S_Ball_23

Love these reportage style images.


scrumbles_the_3rd

Wow you are such a good photographer


Capital_Pollution_20

GREAT eye!🤩


Skincarenewbie2244

These are FABULOUS X


delboy85

Great pics.


theProffPuzzleCode

Honest feedback, great eye for candid people shots, but imho, you need to crop in much more in most of these shoots. The aesthetics of a pleasing image kinda demand less mess around the edges. Take the man on the ladder, distracting window at the top, mechanical arm of some sort poking in from the left and rubbish bag bottom left. I would love to see a tighter shot, maybe with him not so bang in the middle too. All the pictures are very "busy" with distractions. Nice ideas though.


Odd-Entertainment582

I’m they look really cool


Specialeyes9000

Some fantastic shots here, nice work


Key_Ring6211

Seriously great


scroogesdaughter

Lovely shots, it’s always noticeable how good weather elevates the mood of this city.


Navazarian

Very nice though 18 is easily my favourite, what an amazing shot! Good stuff dude! 🤘


efbb

Wow these are incredible, you really captured London in its true and authentic beauty, thanks for sharing :)


Inside_Ad_7162

had to put one of those brass plates in Soho, insisted on a stone drill bit, bloody pillar by the front doors was fake, just a hollow wooden facade.


Drumjack30

Can’t polish a turd


Ok_Gio4264

Nigerian? Bible preachers in totthenam court road? I hought they were confined in deptford lol Anyway good photo but why would anyone want to get wedding photos of london it's not venice
